Giro d'Italia 2017 **spoilers**

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I asked the same question the other day, because I can't find anything. Particularly enjoyed watching the TdF one last year.

I have tweeted the giro to ask

Anyone with stronger google-fu than me able to tell me if there is any live coverage of the team presentation this evening?

1820-2020 and 2245-0020 CET on RAI Sport according to teletext. RAI Sport timings are often works of fiction.

From the UK, you need a satellite receiver with a medium-large dish pointing at 13 degrees east orbital position (Hotbird) frequency 11804 Vertical 27500, or an internet browser with some way of pretending to be in Italy. There might be other ways but I don't know them.

Pirazzi and Ruffoni busted. Bardiani-CSF possibly thrown out. Makes you wonder why there are no Italian Pro-Tour teams!

Bardiani are meant to be blocked from racing for at least 15 days due to 2 non-negative tests. So the Giro has lost a team already...

If Bardiani had any sense of shame they'd voluntarily withdraw before they were pushed. Don't hold your breath though.

RCS should be "having a word" along the lines of "f*ck off, and dinnae expect any more wildcard invites, ya bawbags"
